• Immigration Issues: Planning to Work in the U.S.

  

  From the recent college graduate seeking her first real job to the investor planning a new business to the seasoned corporate manager transferring to an executive position, each foreign national moving to the U.S. will follow a different path to attain authorized work status.
  
  It might be L-1A status, or H-1B status, or an E-2 visa. Which one to choose? Who is eligible? How to qualify? How long does it take? How to obtain a green card? When can I become a citizen?
  
  To assist Swedish citizens to work in the U.S., we are, in cooperation with Nixon Peabody, presenting an overview of the most common work categories, eligibility criteria and the application process, together with other information pertinent to foreign nationals.
